function gout=firfilter(name,M,varargin)
%FIRFILTER  Construct an FIR filter
%   Usage:  g=firfilter(name,M);
%           g=firfilter(name,M,...);
%
%   FIRFILTER(name,M) creates an FIR filter of length M. This is
%   exactly the same as calling FIRWIN. The name must be one of the
%   accepted window types of FIRWIN.
%
%   FIRFILTER(name,M,fc) constructs a filter with a centre
%   frequency of fc measured in normalized frequencies.
%
%   If one of the inputs is a vector, the output will be a cell array
%   with one entry in the cell array for each element in the vector. If
%   more input are vectors, they must have the same size and shape and the
%   the filters will be generated by stepping through the vectors. This
%   is a quick way to create filters for FILTERBANK and UFILTERBANK.
%
%   FIRFILTER accepts the following optional parameters:
%
%     'fs',fs     If the sampling frequency fs is specified then the length
%                 M is specified in seconds and the centre frequency
%                 fc in Hz.
%
%     'complex'   Make the filter complex valued if the centre frequency
%                 is non-zero. This is the default.
%
%     'real'      Make the filter real-valued if the centre frequency
%                 is non-zero.
%
%     'delay',d   Set the delay of the filter. Default value is zero.
%
%     'causal'    Create a causal filter starting at the first sample. If
%                 specified, this flag overwrites the delay setting.
%
%   It is possible to normalize the impulse response of the filter by
%   passing any of the flags from the NORMALIZE function. The default
%   normalization is 'energy'.
%
%   The filter can be used in the PFILT routine to filter a signal, or
%   in can be placed in a cell-array for use with FILTERBANK or UFILTERBANK.
